Webquest Ideas

Here are my webquest ideas. My class will be studying the Holocaust, which means all the webquests that are written below deal, in some way or another, with this issue.

1. Hollywood Productions Introduce: Holocaust Horror
a. Topic: Students will explore the Holocaust and will learn where it took place, the events that led up to this horrific event, and how Jewish people were treated.
b. Grade Level: Eighth Grade
c. Task: You are making a movie!!! Everyone has been patiently awaiting this big event and the movie is proclaimed to be the best in the world. The box office believes that this movie will be off the charts and everyone knows it is because of the people that have been cast in the movie. With an internationally known actress, a famous artist, and an amazing scriptwriter, what could go wrong? RIGHT? It is up to you to make sure that this movie is the blockbuster it is supposed to be. Don't let the director down!!!
d. Roles
a. Scriptwriter- it is your job to write a script that will make this movie rise above all other movies. To do this, you must research the times and make sure the script stays real to the time period.
b. Backstage Artist- It is your job to make the set seem as realistic as possible. Therefore, you must put all of your artistic skills into this project, making the backgrounds feel like Germany and using props that would be used in that time.
c. Actress- it is your job to portray the young girl, Anne Frank. You are the main lead so it is important that you get this right! You must be Anne Frank, with all of her emotions, feelings, and actions!! Don't mess up!


2. Gestapo, not Gazpacho
a. Topic: Students will discover what life is like for Hitler's army before, and after the Holocaust.
b. Grade level: eighth grade
c. Task: You are growing up in war torn Germany. When you are young, you were pressed into Hitler's youth group and when you became older, you became a Gestapo, a secret agent. Then, the war ended and people around you changed. An interviewer wants to ask you questions and you are tired of being hounded so you answer his questions about your life.
d. Roles:
a. Child in Hitler's Youth- it is your job to tell the interviewer how you became part of this organizations and what responsibilities you are given
b. Gestapo adult- it is your job to tell the interviewer what your life entails and how people treat you
c. Nazi after Holocaust has ended- it is your job to show the interviewer what has happened to Hilter's army and to describe how different the world is and how people treat you!

3. HIDE AND SEEK
a. Topic: Students will investigate what Jewish people went through when they tried to escape Hitler's regime
b. Grade level: eighth grade
c. Task: Your family is in trouble. The Nazis are searching for Jews and are sending them to the Death Camps. Your family knows that if they end up in the death camp, they will die! You need to get your family saftely out of Germany!
d. Roles:
a. Father- it is your job to provide for your family. You are looking at maps, trying to decide where the saftest place to escape would be!
b. Mother- it is your job to make sure your family stays hidden until the time that you need to leave! Your job is to find a family that will hide you until the time is right.
c. Child- it is your job to hide and make sure you have left no trail! You must keep track of food and money and when the Nazis are close on your heels, you must find places to hide for your family!

4. DEATH TRAP
a. Topic: Students will learn about the concentration camps, how they were built, and why.
b. Grade level: eighth grade
c. Task: The Germans are implementing their final solution plan. Hitler wants to destroy all Jewish people. You have been hired to create death traps, places where the Jews will be sent to be killed.
d. Roles:

I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive this. I came across a truly awesome site that explains how to contruct solar panels and so on. The place explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I'm not really sure about how accurate the data given there iz. If some guys over here who have xp with these things can have a peak and give your feedback in the page it will be grand and I would extremely appreciate it, cauze I truly love [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].
